Cerium oxide (CeO) nanoparticles (NPs) are used in polishing products and absorbents, as promoters in wound healing, and as organopesticide decontaminants. While systemic bioaccumulation and organ toxicity has been described after inhalation, data on CeO NPs' transdermal permeation are lacking. Our study was an in vitro investigation of the permeation of 17-nm CeO NPs dispersed in synthetic sweat (1 g L) using excised human skin on Franz cells. Experiments were performed using intact and needle-abraded skin, separately. The average amount of Ce into intact and damaged skin samples was 3.64 ± 0.15 and 7.07 ± 0.78 µg cm, respectively (mean ± SD, = 0.04). Ce concentration in the receiving solution was 2.0 ± 0.4 and 3.3 ± 0.7 ng cm after 24 h ( = 0.008). The Ce content was higher in dermal layers of damaged skin compared to intact skin (2.93 ± 0.71 µg cm and 0.39 ± 0.16 µg cm, respectively; = 0.004). Our data showed a very low dermal absorption and transdermal permeation of cerium, providing a first indication of Ce skin uptake due to contact with CeO.

Salinity is one of the predominant abiotic stressors that reduce plant growth, yield, and productivity. Ameliorating salt tolerance through nanotechnology is an efficient and reliable methodology for enhancing agricultural crops yield and quality. Nanoparticles enhance plant tolerance to salinity stress by facilitating reactive oxygen species detoxification and by reducing the ionic and osmotic stress effects on plants.

Endometriosis, the growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, causes chronic pain and infertility in 10 % of reproductive-aged women worldwide. Unfortunately, no permanent cure exists, and current medical and surgical treatments offer only temporary relief. Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by immune system dysfunction.

Thermal switches, which electrically turn heat flow on and off, have attracted attention as thermal management devices. Electrochemical reduction/oxidation switches the thermal conductivity (κ) of active metal oxide films. The performance of the previously proposed electrochemical thermal switches is low; the on/off κ-ratio is mostly less than 5, and the κ-switching width is less than 5 watts per meter kelvin.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates a new cancer treatment system called Chit-IOCO-MTX-Cy5, which combines chitosan nanocomposites with cerium oxide and iron oxide nanoparticles, along with methotrexate and a dye for imaging.
- The system acts as both an anti-cancer agent and enhances MRI imaging, showing high effectiveness with better results than currently approved imaging agents.
- It significantly reduces tumor growth with no regrowth after treatment, while showing good safety in mice, indicating its potential as an effective cancer theranostic tool.
Reprogramming Dysfunctional Dendritic Cells by a Versatile Catalytic Dual Oxide Antigen-Captured Nanosponge for Remotely Enhancing Lung Metastasis Immunotherapy.

Dendritic cells (DCs) play a crucial role in initiating antitumor immune responses. However, in the tumor environment, dendritic cells often exhibit impaired antigen presentation and adopt an immunosuppressive phenotype, which hinders their function and reduces their ability to efficiently present antigens. Here, a dual catalytic oxide nanosponge (DON) doubling as a remotely boosted catalyst and an inducer of programming DCs to program immune therapy is reported.
